No... Even on the Basic ( free ) level, there is no limit of bases... just the # of cameras.

So if you have 2 bases you can use them on the same account with a total of 5 cameras and they don't have to be in the same location.

Or upgrade to a higher service level.

Keep in mind, I've found it easier to set up at your home location and then move the base and associated cameras to the new, usu a just plug in and it should work. ( tho not necessary, you can just set up in the new location with you login/pw )

If the total number of cameras doesn't exceed 5, you simply add the new system normally to your account using the Add Device button on the Devices tab.

WiFi has nothing to do with it. Since Arlo is cloud-based, each base station connects to the Arlo servers and you use the app to see them by also connecting to the servers. That's why you can be on cell service and still see your system(s). As long as the bases maintain their Internet access, it will be as if you're sitting next to them.

A caution - work networks frequently block access to non-business-related websites such as Arlo. You may have to use cell service to do so instead of the work network.
